Introduction
Pragmatism is one of the most influential schools in contemporary Western philosophy. It was active at the beginning of the 20th century. In the 1970s, it once again attracted the attention of Western academic circles and derived new variants. This book focuses on the seven most representative pragmatists, Peirce, James, Dewey, Quine, Rorty, Putnam, and Blanton, and systematically analyzes and comments on their views, from which we can see the ideological connotation and evolution from pragmatism to neo-pragmatism.
